Does the ASTB trainer not work anymore? I've been having issues with it. Either gets stuck at a white "Loading..." screen or I get a 404 error. Wanted to see if anyone else has run into the same problem.

Make sure you use google chrome or something besides safari

Is there a software that has to be downloaded in order to use a stick and throttle for the ASTB trainer? Also, what are some good stick/throttles for the price? Don't want to break the bank on something I'll only use for probably a couple of months

I use the AntiMicro app. Once downloaded you can adjust the setting for your stick/throttle. I also bought the exact Logitech stick/throttle that the Navy uses for administering the ASTB simulator I bought it used on Amazon and it works great.

I tried looking it up on the App Store and I couldn’t find it , is anti micro on the AppStore or short for something ?

Is anyone having trouble accessing more than just five flashcards using the proprof flashcard websites for any of the mechanical sets/sets in general?

Anybody that purchased the HOTAS stick and throttle have issues with getting the throttle to match up with the Jantz’s simulator? Everything works great, but the throttle down isn’t working in the program. It works outside of the program, just not in the program.

Hopefully that wasn’t confusing

I downloaded the joytokey and everything worked except moving the throttle back to decelerate. I have an HP though. I’ll just use it for the stick and keep using the key board for throttle.?‍♂️

1) Did you buy the Logitech X52? That's the one that I used when I re-took it and bought it as soon as I got home. In Joy2Key, I mapped the downshift on the throttle to the "S" key and the upshift to the "W" key. It's a little weird to get used to, but it works.

2) I had the same issue. I think it's because most (if not all) HOTAS don't have drivers for MacOS. You literally can't even run MSFS2020 on a Mac unless you install Windows. This video has a tutorial on how to do that. Given the crazy amount of graphics power the new M1 chips have, it's really sad that we can't run it on MacOS but that's an issue for another day. Of course, I could be wrong, so please feel free to correct me if I am!

I can never get higher than a 41 on my OAR. This was my last shot. I scored a 41 first time and a 39 the second time. Thank you those who helped me out. It is challenging to go back and sign up for a test and answer math and physics questions I haven’t seen in 15 years while balancing my duties as an LPO and family load. My effort doesn’t end there though, I still plan on putting in the package for PAO, which I have a bachelors for. I am also looking at these other commissioning paths as well.
